Hepatitis Resources

The links below are for agencies that provide hepatitis vaccinations, track hepatitis infections and coordinate statewide activities. Other links provide information, educational resources and referrals for people who are both HIV and hepatitis co-infected as well. If you have not already had hepatitis, you should get vaccinated against hepatitis A (HAV) and hepatitis B (HBV). There are programs that offer these vaccines for free, or at a very low price. They are covered by most health care plans and some government programs. If you have had hepatitis that did not go away when you first contracted it (that's called chronic hepatitis), the good news is that the number of existing and new treatments being tested for the treatment of hepatitis and its complications (such as diabetes or cancer) has really increased in the last few years. Most treatments for hepatitis C (HCV) will include a once a week or more frequent shots of interferon and ribavirin pills taken twice a day. Hepatitis B treatments are somewhat different. Find out everything you can about your liver and hepatitis, then contact any of the excellent organizations listed here, your doctor, or The Network and start asking questions.
